Chapter 1474

The face before him stirred Bei Fengjin’s emotions, which he had just managed to calm down after a long night.

He deliberately avoided looking at her face, knowing full well that regardless of the resemblance, she was not his You’er.

However, because of Wu Ming’s actions towards Baili Xia, his gaze fell back upon her face.

Even though he knew it wasn’t her, seeing it still shook him, still… made his heart race.

It had been so long, so very long, since he had looked at her properly…

Feng Jin’s gaze caused Wu Ming to feel a bit surprised.

He had never seen Bei Qingyou, but he knew about the potential relationship between Baili Xia and Bei Qingyou.

Now, seeing the disturbance in Feng Jin’s eyes when he looked at the young girl, it wasn’t hard to deduce.

Perhaps, the little creature and Bei Qingyou truly did resemble each other.

The possibility that Bei Qingyou was the little creature’s biological mother was already above ninety percent.

In other words, those who knew the situation basically all believed they were mother and daughter.

Seeing her evoked memories of the past, perhaps this Mr.

Bei Fengjin was reminded of those ancient stories?

“If you don’t mind, I can arrange for her to accompany you often,” Wu Ming suddenly said.

Bei Fengjin withdrew his gaze from Baili Xia and looked at Wu Ming, a trace of displeasure in his eyes.

“You misunderstand, I wasn’t suggesting she should accompany you…”

Not knowing how to explain, Wu Ming directly said, “My woman, I won’t give to anyone.”

Feng Jin was slightly taken aback, and the coldness in his eyes dissipated significantly.

Even his handsome face showed a hint of relief.

“Very well,” he said, glancing at the chessboard and then at the distant horizon.

The east was beginning to lighten, the dawn breaking.

Wu Ming still showed no intention of waking Baili Xia and continued to fix his gaze upon Feng Jin.

“She likes Bei Qingyou, and from the villagers of Hongxia Mountain, she knows about what you did for Bei Qingyou back then…”

Suddenly, Feng Jin’s gaze shot over, that look instantly became icy cold again.

Yet Wu Ming remained unfazed.

If it had been anyone else, he certainly wouldn’t have had the patience to explain so much.

But with Feng Jin, he inexplicably felt a sense of respect.

Could it be because the little creature liked this Mr.

Bei Fengjin?

He didn’t know why, but in any case, his prideful nature found it surprising that he would say so much to explain himself.

“You and Bei Qingyou have no blood ties, so what if you like her? Who can speak a single word against you?”

Feng Jin’s fingertips tightened slightly; hearing the mention of his past with You’er, he was inwardly displeased.

Yet, somehow, those words inexplicably warmed his heart.

If only back then, everyone thought so, he and You’er wouldn’t have had to suffer so much.

You’er… wouldn’t have had to leave home for his sake…

The past was like smoke, and now thinking it over, it had truly been a long, long time.

“What is it that you really want to say?” he asked Wu Ming, and within half a second, the calm had again returned to his eyes.

“I hope you’ll allow her to freely come and go at Jin Ye Pavilion, let her come to accompany you,” Wu Ming said.

“Do you think she’s willing?”

“This little fool, seeing you, it’s like she loses her soul, she wouldn’t be unwilling.”

Wu Ming’s large hand rested lightly on Baili Xia’s head, gently ruffling it.

His words were filled with a pampering tone.

“Aren’t you afraid she might really lose her soul here with me?” Feng Jin’s indifferent gaze fell once more on Baili Xia’s face.

One look, and his heart was in turmoil again.

Was this girl brought by You’er?
